5-Star Hotels in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji

Our stay at the Sheraton on Tokoriki Island was lovely. Every member of staff is local Fijian living on nearby islands and are always happy and love playing with the kids, friends can be made everywhere. Big shoutout especially to John the fantastic bartender who made each person feel like his brother or sister and made fantastic drinks. There’s so much else to say so I’ll go over some things I would’ve been interested in knowing before my stay: -snorkeling trips and boat rides to Castaway island and other islands are available at somewhat reasonable prices -shampoo, body wash, and lotion are all provided with many medications, sunscreen, snacks, souvenirs and other necessities available in hotel shop open everyday -don’t forget an outlet adapter -ask about the daily activity schedule (activities every hour) and the walking trails to a beautiful hidden beach with amazing seashells and fruit trees -talk to the chefs, they will make you something off the menu or something that is special to them -getting up and out of the room early around sunrise was one of the best things we did -make sure to get the breakfast buffet added on, many options of food and makes the morning extra relaxing -tap water seems safe to drink now (older reviews say otherwise) and is served at meals but we were still glad we brought a few 1L bottles on the boat with us from Nadi -beach is empty most of the time as most people seemed to stay at the pool, renting equipment is variable based on sea swells and other weather conditions so take advantage when you can -food is pricey especially with some plates having very small amounts of food, if all inclusive there are many delicious things to try -if you are looking to relax by reading and swimming staying here for a week or more is east, if you’re looking for adventure stop here for a couple days then move to a different island Overall, each and every member of the staff wants you to have a memorable time. I hope this review has answered one of your questions!

We are so grateful to everyone at Tadrai for giving us such a special and idyllic holiday. We were lucky to spend 5 nights here and enjoyed every minute. We feel sorry for anyone who had a less than 5 star experience. Our experience was better than 5 stars. The bures are huge and have everything you could need. If you fall asleep with the doors wide open you get to wake up to the most spectacular sunrise and stunning view. You don’t need a sandy beach right at the resort because you can be taken to your own private one every day if you like. Or walk around the corner to a stunning sandy beach if you really need it. Not only that, but the reef out the front of the resort gave me my favourite ever snorkelling experience- the wonderful Freddie took me out as my guide for about 1.5 hours of pure bliss. Speaking of, as many others have mentioned, the staff make this resort so truly special. They work so hard and yet always have energy left over to make you feel so welcome and looked after. I hope the owners know how lucky they are to have such brilliant all-rounders on their team and give them the credit they are due. As a vegetarian, Charles, Sam and Moses went out of their way to make sure I had something I wanted to eat. The food they made was not only delicious but wholesome and healthy. Unlike other all inclusive places, we didn’t leave feeling sick from overly, unnecessarily rich food. We were so well looked after by the fabulous F&B team - thank you Asa, Kasi, Vika, Vani and all the others we didn’t get to meet. The day trips are so luxurious and personalised. A special thank you to Kasi for being our literal hero, and the wonderful Rocky, Api, Masi, Freddie, Tiko and anyone else we missed for the best activities we have ever had on holidays. Thank you to darling Lavenia for the warmest and sweetest welcome and for resolving any minor issues immediately. Thank you to Nancy and Nash for all they did behind the scenes. Thank you to the gorgeous Lela who went above and beyond to look after us and make our room so special. Thank you to awesome Frisco and polymath Sam for serenading us and bringing so much joy. Thank you to dear Carlos for taking such good care of us. And thank you to the countless others including Johnny, Lassaro, Magi, Izzy, (sorry if I got any names wrong!) and all the ones behind the scenes working so so hard so that we could switch off and have the time of our lives.
